A few weeks ago, I received a call from my brother Michael, and imagine my delight and surprise when he announced that I would be receiving a delivery from Allen Brothers!
While the box came packed to the brim with steaks and chops, my inner child just had to try the Chicago-style ‘steakhouse-dogs’ first.
I’ve seen these advertised over the years, and I have to say, these beautiful steakhouse-dogs truly live up to the hype and, quite literally, are the best hotdogs I’ve ever had. Packing a thick, crisp bite, overflowing with juice, and supremely fresh tasting, I didn’t once even think about dousing them in the usual condiments or dressings.
In closing, a big thanks to my big brother!
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

Good Evening Catherine, First I have to say I enjoyed your poems. You truly have a gift. Second, how delightful that your brother sent you this delicious gift. I have never had Allen Brothers foods before, but these Steak Dogs look out of this world. there is nothing like a crunch when you eat one of these dogs. The flavor must be so different. Love all of the other added foods. Your recipe for the beans, home fries, and the tomato salad look awesome. They all go so nicely together. All you need is a beer or a glass of wine...Thank you for sharing this delicious dish, my dad would say, "a blue plate special". Have a blessed weekend....Dottie 🙂

Catherine, That's a great looking dinner! Those hot dogs look and sound great but at $4.00 each I think that I'll stick with my local all beef hot dogs. Now, if a family member or friend wanted to buy them for me, it would be a good thing! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Catherine, I don't think I've ever eaten a Chicago hot dog, but I've heard a lot about them from my father-in-law who was originally from Chicago. I love how you've paired them with tomatoes, baked beans and home fries.
